Sonicbids, the leading matchmaking site for bands and music promoters, today announces a partnership with Songtrust, the leading music publishing management platform developed by Downtown Music, to launch a new application for artists to simplify the process of song registration and royalty collections. With Songtrust, songwriters can take control of their music publishing and related rights by streamlining the complex process of registering and protecting song copyrights, collecting royalties, maximizing licensing opportunities and tracking where their songs are being used around the world.
"Songtrust alleviates one of the biggest fears that composers have, namely their music being broadcast and used without their permission," said Panos Panay, Founder and CEO, Sonicbids. "Songtrust compliments the array of online promotion, fund raising, and digital distribution tools available on Sonicbids to empower the next generation of emerging artists. With Songtrust, songwriters can focus on their craft knowing that their music publishing rights are being professionally managed."
With this partnership, songwriters can upload and register their songs to an easy-to-use dashboard that will allow them to manage their music publishing rights without giving up any ownership interest in their copyrights. Users can check out "My Reports" within their Songtrust account to track income by type of use, album, territory, and more.
"Songtrust was designed to help a new generation of songwriters and artists better manage, protect and monetize their publishing assets," said Downtown Music Publishing President and Songtrust Co-Founder, Justin Kalifowitz. "Sonicbids services an exciting and growing community of DIY artists and we are thrilled to partner with them in introducing Songtrust."
To get started, artists log into their Sonicbids account and click on the Songtrust app in the Featured Apps section of their homepage. If you don’t have a Sonicbids account, sign up for a 14-day free trial membership here.
